Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four Arrive
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for its Season 1 launch, "Eternal Night Falls," on January 10th at 1 AM PST, bringing with it Mister Fantastic and the initial wave of the Fantastic Four. Mister Fantastic will be the first of the team to debut, utilizing his intellect and stretchy powers against Dracula in the game's unfolding narrative.
Gameplay footage reveals Mister Fantastic's unique abilities, including stretching attacks to pummel single or multiple opponents, an impressive muscle-boosting transformation, and a powerful ultimate move reminiscent of The Winter Soldier. While speculation abounds about a potential Season 1 bonus for the Fantastic Four, official confirmation is still pending.
The Invisible Woman will join Mister Fantastic at Season 1's launch, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to follow approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games has confirmed that all four Fantastic Four members will be introduced in Season 1.
Leaked information suggests Human Torch will control the battlefield with flame walls and collaborate with Storm for devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard-class character, although his abilities remain undisclosed.
While rumors circulated about the inclusion of Blade and Ultron, NetEase Games has clarified that the Fantastic Four will be the only new characters in Season 1. This confirms the delay of Ultron to Season 2 or later, surprising some players who anticipated his presence at launch. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's inclusion, has also generated discussion among the fanbase.
NetEase Games plans to release substantial updates midway through each three-month season, ensuring a steady stream of fresh content for players. The anticipation surrounding the new season and future additions is high amongst the Marvel Rivals community.
